Updating and maintaining your estate plan

On behalf of Law Office of Barbara J. Dibble posted in Estate Planning on Monday, February 22, 2016.

If you are like many California citizens, you have already created an estate plan and had it examined by an attorney. Congratulations for thinking ahead and staying on track. At the risk of putting a negative spin on all your hard work, there are still a few things you should consider in the estate planning process. One of these things is the need to update an existing plan. A proper estate plan does require maintenance to remain strong and effective, but the good news is that it is pretty easy to make the necessary changes.

Are you wondering what could possibly necessitate changing all of your careful work? The answer is life and its many fluctuating circumstances. Estate planning should flex as much as your life does and here are some important life changes that could mean an update to your existing plan is in order.

Obviously, the above represents only a few of the major circumstances that can signal the need for an estate planning update. Life and its changes do not follow a schedule, but you can adapt to whatever is put in your path. If you have taken the initiative and set up an estate plan, you will want to make sure it remains as strong and as relevant as the day you put it in writing. If you have not started your estate planning, schedule a consultation with your attorney today.
